Description of the mural

This mural celebrates the beauty of diversity through a colorful flock of birds, including emblematic species of different nationalities such as the scarlet ibis, the white stork, the peacock, the African osprey, the Andean condor, the nightingale, the robin and many more. 

The flowers incorporated into the design are inspired by the nearby magnolias, which bloom in spring, reinforcing the connection with the local environment. 

This design was born from community workshops, where key concepts such as "bright colors", "nature", "flowers", "climate change" and "identity" were defined, and was created after a consultation with the community in the area. 

Year of realization

The mural is part of the artistic project "Haringey Town Centres Creative Art Project" in Wood Green Mall, and was made in 2023.
